John Thompson Joins Cesium’s Business Development Team as a Software Developer
I’m very happy to welcome John Thompson to the Cesium team. John joins the expanding business development squad as a software developer to support existing and potential customers in implementing Cesium products in their workflows.
Although John is new to the Cesium team, he’s not new to Cesium: as a former employee of AGI, he’s been working with CesiumJS since 2015. He’ll bring that deep experience to supporting customers in all aspects of the Cesium platform.

John has spent eight years working in aerospace and defense software, with the majority of his time spent at AGI (Ansys Government Initiatives, formerly Analytical Graphics, Inc.). He was most recently the technical lead of AGI’s Digital Engineering Lab. Prior to that he was a field sales engineer, assisting AGI’s federal and commercial customers in using STK, STK Components, and ODTK.
John graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering and a minor in computer science. Outside of work, John loves all things outdoors: snow sports (mostly snowboarding), water sports (wakeboarding and paddle boarding), and other activities (hiking, fly fishing, and hunting). He also likes homebrewing and playing video games.
